I heard this name quite a lot, many a times thru friends and most of the time on internet and thru spam mails. It always looked interesting. I thought of trying the services for few months in 2006. I was browsing their website for movies and realized that they don’t have latest movies and that point I thought it does not make sense as you won’t get new movies. I dropped the idea of taking their membership, in-fact I canceled just before making the payment (I never knew I was doing the right thing until now). Past four years I managed to ignore them, but suddenly one fine day they appeared again and called me and made me an offer to re-join. I was not too interested.

Everyone, they say would have an experience of the life time. I am proud to have one such experience. Well folks, that’s what I wanted to share with you all for quite some time. And I guess the time has come. On 10th October 2004 we leave the office in a qualis early morning and moved thru the city, that is Praveen, Harsha, Gururaj, Guruprasad, Maxmelbin, Chethan and me – Sathya. First halt was near my house at Tom’s Café. Where we packed a lot to eat and definitely not to mention the booze {since we did not have the bottlenecks – the GIRLS…} it was fun. We reached the city of Sakleshpur at around 8:00 in the evening and sought retreat in a small but pleasant hotel and when day turned tiresome and all felt sleepy the guru-n-guru picks the pa...
